3D Scan and Digital Collage, 13” x 19” x 0.5”
“Fractured Map,” is a digital composition made from 3D scans
of physical art. The visuals are transformed into various textures,
resembling scattered puzzle pieces, disrupting their original
order. This manipulation blurs the sense of time and effort that
went into them. When viewing these fragments collectively,
it’s challenging to grasp their intended form. Can anyone
reconstruct and understand what they originally represented?
Could some elements have been concealed or overlooked
during this transformation? This work aligns with the theme of
‘misapprehended,’ exploring how altered context can lead to
misconceptions.
